On the tournament's big screen, a convoy of vehicles drove westward, past the golden wheat fields of Yasnaya Polyana.
It was IG, the team that had jumped at Lipovka on the right edge of the map.
If they wished to take the shortest path into the play area, they should have taken the road that cut between the nursing home and the horseshoe mountain, then pass by the big warehouse to the north of the Shelter, and make a turn at the puzzle buildings near the School.
However, the flight route of the airplane at the beginning of the match was a nearly level horizontal cut across the map starting at Lipovka.
If IG had taken the aforementioned route, it would have been a faster journey, but their route would almost overlap that of the airplane.
There was no need to explain how perilous that path would be.
IG had learned their lesson from the previous two matches. They had spent a lot of time mapping their entry route in this circle.
